kennedy's senate seats in massachusetts and then the supreme court announced citizens united. these events are not related in an actual sense but when i talk to liberals and democrats, on the events are well that in their mind. it was like that week that they realized they were in real electoral trouble in 2010. and there is a belief that large corporations are largely pro- republican. i think that is a very shaky empirical belief. but disclosed was an effort to silence those types of speakers that they think we're likely to help republicans. it is really just the bottom line. it is unfortunate that of the case and i hate to become one making that comment, sound like a commentshill. i think i have a pretty good record at the fec being non- partisan, and that was recognized. host: the latest decision regarding it, the montana challenge to what was not successful in recent rulings. what is a legislative future or judicial future -- judicial review future for citizens united? do you see more saleh is on capitol hill and more court challenges? guest: lets start real quick what cit

it's like the bain story, which he was first attacked on bain in 1994 in the race with ted kennedy, didn't have the answers then, still doesn't have them. the ann romney thing is fascinating. first of all, it's a step up, at least he's putting ann romney out in front. he was earlier in the week hiding behind theresa heinz cary. you may recall he was not being held to the same standard she was when she was not running for president in 2004. but also, just what she said now, she said he's a good man, he gives 10% of his income or whatever -- zero, maybe of zero, but whatever to the church. didn't mention theame of the church, which is the moore mom church. the mormon church, that's just in one snippet. they keep making it worst. they have no answers, and they look bad, and it's also a metaphor, i think, or become a approximaty for all the secrecy about romney, about bain, about his governorship of massachusetts where the hard drives roll a race, his staff was leaving. >> they bought them and took them with them. >> they could afford to buy them. all those sort of language they use, like in 2

ted kennedy had raised some of the same issues in the 1994 election. it worked for ted kennedy, but i think people were either giving him a pass or, you know, or what, i don't really know. but i don't think it was as effective, but i think now it's more effective for an audience, a national audience of people who really haven't seen that sort of set of values or hypocrisy, if you will. >> he seems to enjoy the formality of a debate, mitt. what do you think of telling the president you got to loosen this thing up a little bit. you got to be fast and loose in your debate style. if you get formal like him, very stiff like he does, he wins on that platform. >> the thing i've noticed, and i think, again, during my campaign and other places, i think he has a very tough time when he's unscripted. the times he's made most of his mistakes is when he goes off message and i think the more that president obama can actually have a conversation and get him to go off script and to engage him on a very personal level, i think that will, perhaps, benefit the president.
